When young children start learning to write, they consistently flip some letter, like ‘S`, even though they are copying it visually

Question

What is the reason why young children flip certain letters when theyre learning to write. Ive noticed i’ve written down things for my daughter to write, and she copies it exactly, except she flips consistently letters like ‘s’, ‘n’, etc. She is writing it Just below the text ive written. I of course compliment and encouraged, and dont mention whay she does.

Answer 1

Using muscles, not copying characters, and the muscle actions are easy to flip. S is a curve that turns into another curve, that’s how we remember it
